Linking any c++ source file to deal ii fails complaining on linking with /usr/lib/libsmumps.so

[Javier Marcelo Mora]

I'm trying to compile any of the deal.ii examples. They are included in libdeal.ii-doc . I just copied the "/usr/share/doc/libdeal.ii-doc/examples" directory to my home directory.

The process is (as told in the instructions for compiling any example):

cmake .
make run

With previous versions of Ubuntu, it worked as expected. The compilation process finished and an executable was created.

With 17.10 I get this error:

make[2]: *** No hay ninguna regla para construir el objetivo '/usr/lib/libsmumps.so', necesario para 'step-1'. Alto.
CMakeFiles/Makefile2:163: fallo en las instrucciones para el objetivo 'CMakeFiles/step-1.dir/all'
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/step-1.dir/all] Error 2
Makefile:83: fallo en las instrucciones para el objetivo 'all'
make: *** [all] Error 2

So it is complaining about the libsmumps.so location. libsmumps.so is indeed not located in /usr/lib, but on /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

[Graham Inggs (ginggs)]

It seems that deal.ii should have been rebuilt after mumps 5.1.1-2 appeared in Artful to pick up the libraries in the multiarch locations.

This would have been fixed by the next upload of deal.ii, which was 8.4.2-2ubuntu1 in Bionic.
